Let's share our favourite feminist quotes!

Here are some of mine:

"Your silence will not protect you"

  • Audre Lorde

“Masculinity cannot exist without femininity. On its own, masculinity has no meaning, because it is but one half of a set of power relations. Masculinity pertains to male dominance as femininity pertains to female subordination.”
― Sheila Jeffreys

"I raise up my voice—not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard. […] We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back."

  • Malala Yousafzai

“Female is real, and it’s sex, and femininity is unreal, and it’s gender.”
― Germaine Greer

Most important one of all, maybe?

"If we give up now younger generations of women will be told porn is good for them and they will believe it".

Andrea Dworkin (d. 2005...)

(This damn thread has just reminded me that I have to reread Dworkin. All of it).

Liz Lochead: "'Feminism's like hoovering: every five years you have to do it again."

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists:

I am angry. We should all be angry. Anger has a long history of bringing about positive change.

Whenever some nobber tells me to calm down.
